Regardless of the type of guild, it is a guild that is open 24 hours a day, three hundred and sixty days a year, 365 days a year.
The Adventurer's Guild in Meratni is no exception.
Early and late shifts and innkeepers exist. But there are those that do not exist.

''Oh. You should start running in the morning again tomorrow.
Yes, sir. Instructor Brod.
Luciel went back to the basement nap room.

'Alright, let's have a drink then.'
Brod speaks to Grugar at the counter. The cafeteria inside the guild doesn't usually have alcohol, but I guess that's another guildmaster's privilege.

I suppose so. By the way, Brod, don't you look a lot younger than you used to?
''I'm surprised myself. When I was teaching that guy, my body technique level became Ⅷ.
''Wow, that guy is amazing. It's a good thing that you're not the only one who can do this.
It must be.
Kukkuk. He laughs, killing his voice.

'So? How does Luciel feel about his current environment?
'I don't want to die, that's all. Well, I guess the truth is that you're just desperately biting into your training and can't think of anything else to do.
Huh. That guy has been drinking that undiluted solution for a long time now, do you know what that effect is?
I don't know. I'm sure there's something in the old literature about that thing that the wise men made that made your body tougher and made it easier for you to increase your status.
And is that actually working?
''Hmmm. He's definitely much stronger than when he came here, but he's still close to an F-class warrior.
It's great that you keep drinking that stuff. You know how bad your breath is after drinking that stuff?
Yeah. I'm the only one around that guy, and I make him plug his nose when he goes near me. Well, as long as you don't go near him after dinner, there's no problem.
Even that brother Galba said it smelled awful.
Well, after drinking it, the smell goes away in thirty minutes, so somehow no one else notices or hates it.
I see.
They had given that thing to the adolescent Luciel, who was sympathetic and wanted to be as strong as he could be, with a mind of his own.


'Oh, Brod, thank you for your hard work, Grugar.
Then Galba, Gulgar's brother, came in.
'You must have done well, Galba.
'No, no. It's a lot easier than being a guildmaster.
Hey, bro, you got any ale?
Yes.
So?
'Yeah. Well, now that we've negotiated, he won't have to go over there and be targeted.
Who's behind it?
'That was a rare botacouli. But I stuttered when the slave chief over there was trying to stage a coup.
Ho. That's a tough one.
And then? What are you going to do now, brother?
I hear a lot of money is going to the head of the Healers' Guild, so it's time for him to go out of business.
Click. When the time comes for the reclusive Galba to get serious.
As you can see from this conversation, Galva's job is actually not just demolition. It's something like detective work, such as gathering information and evidence in the shadows, and in the past, he also did assassinations.

''Luciel, you have something to hide, but you always live hard and don't want to die, you're an oddball who knocks on the door of the Adventurer's Guild, right? You can't leave a kid like that alone.
That's for sure.
And then? How far do you think you can work out in five months?
'Yeah. He's a level 1 and can only take out an E class warrior at best. It's a good idea to have a C-class fighter in your back pocket. Well, in the future, but he still has a lot of room to grow.
"...If he hasn't changed in the next few years, maybe I can work him out too.
"...if you tell him, he'll die.
'It's okay. It's not like he's going to really bust it up like you do. Besides, I have a feeling he's somewhat of a constitution that gets caught up in the chaos.
'Garba's readings are often ominous, but they do come true.
'I wonder when he'll get to be in love?'
'Huh? But all the kids at the reception desk seem to like you, Luciel?
'That's as my brother, apparently. He's tall and not bad-looking, but his street names are zombies and doms.
"...isn't that because of the devil instructor and the cooking bear?
"I'm just doing the food and that thing as a favor. Don't put me in the same boat as some combat maniac.
Who's a battle freak. But hey... I don't know what he likes, but I hope someone likes that guy as a man.
'It's okay. Also, he likes girls with nice smiles and pretty gestures, apparently.
It's also...
I... Yeah.
I'll comfort you if you cheat on me.
"Huh.

The next day, Brod and Grugar were a little kinder to Luciel, he said.
